Trump: Peacemaking Revolution of the US Aggressive Geopolitics

Trump’s shocking victory has spawned a flurry of very different opinions. We, as the peacemakers, above all, interested in the peacemakers views about the US foreign policy during Trump’s presidency. From their plenty, we have chosen the latest issue of the TMS well-known weekly Digest distributed among 10 thousand subscribers worldwide on November 14, 2016 [1]. In it were published 20 articles about Trump in different perspectives, approaches and assessments. But only two of these articles were positive for Trump, and the remaining, mostly – negative in a varying degree. Authors only three articles based on scientific analysis of the facts, while others operate by media clichés diluting them with the own subjective considerations, evaluations and emotions, ignoring the facts and realities. Of course, among them there are also some interesting observations but on objective scientific analysis they do not pull. The most interesting fact is that none of the authors-peacemakers of these articles are not reviewed and does not even noted the Trump’s foreign policy program, which he expounded in his speech on April 27, 2016 [2]. In it he defined his system peacefulness, which is the main object of our scientific analysis here.

Most of the negative articles are limited with comments and deciphering media stamps and insinuations about Trump. Gefira (European progressive website) summarized them:

“Donald Trump has won. Against the odds, against the polls, against the massive attacks from the media that have gone to great lengths during the past several months to depict him as a monster, a cannibal, a flaw in the pattern, a Putin-fan, a war-monger, a racist, an abomination, the worst candidate in all of history (+ horrendous agenda, sexist, bigot, hater, clown,egomaniac, xenophobe, Berlusconi, horrid downsides, ignorant, thin-skinned, boorish a nasty person, megalomaniac, liar, ignoramus, proto-fascist and etc. – L.S.). Every article, well, every paragraph in an article contained a disparaging word like ‘populist’ or ‘populism’ in reference to Trump… [They talked] only mentally retarded people could possible vote Donald Trump… We arrived at the conclusion that … the United States had gone the wrong way and needed a political overhaul.”[3].

Linh Dinh develops these generalizations: “Universally, Trump was depicted as an anti-establishment candidate. Washington and Wall Street hated him, and the media were deployed to vilify him endlessly. If they could not discredit Trump enough, surely they would steal the election from him. SomeevensuggestedTrumpwouldbeassassinated.”[4].

An endless stream of lies, fabrication of falsehoods, brainwashing and manipulation of public opinion against Trump for media turned as for sociologists in rigged polls, a complete collapse. According to Rachel Oldroyd, the election campaign in 2016 showed «one thing is clear: journalism, just like the pollsters, failed. Stuck in their offices in Washington and New York, American reporters failed to understand what drove Donald Trump’s popularity. Instead, buoyed by his clickable soundbites, the media gave Trump’s shocking misogynistic and racist imperialism a platform, then failed to take his growing support seriously… they did not know and understand the people.»[5]. Therefore, in its view, a consequence of the inadequacy of the media became their downfall: «Death of print journalism…the true “epic fail” of the journalism industry as a whole.» «As forTrump, he holds journalists in contempt; regularly sneering at them throughout his campaign and pointedly describing them as “horrible people.”[5].

Clearly, these findings also apply to peace journalism: if it is in line with the mainstream media, it is also overtaken the true ”epic fail”, which implies the need for its revolutionary update and bring into line with reality. Our article is in the fairway of facts, reality and science and not on subjective baseless fictions and psychology, excluding use of the “fake news and fake videos of mainstream media” on Michel Chossudovsky’s words [5a].

From the Digest articles the most rigorous and broad scientific analysis belongs to Professor McMurtry, who is considering a confrontation Trump-Hillary as an expression of the deep social and political trends in America based on the global facts: «HiIlary Clinton is a perfect enemy of Trump. She has become rich in office, and as Harry Truman said “anyone who gets rich in politics is a crook”. She has dedicated her life to political power at the top while growing ever wealthier from its use. And she loves foreign wars. She has supported a long line of eco-genocidal attacks and bombings of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine, all of them still in motion and waiting for her to be escalated further. She wants a return to this bombing in Syria as a “free-fly zone” – free for US and NATO bombers – just as she led Libya’s destruction from 2011 on. She abuses Russia and slanders Putin at every opportunity and she supported the neo-Nazi coup overthrowing the elected government of Ukraine and the civil war since. She has done nothing but advocate or agree to endless US-led war crimes without any life gain but only mass murder, social ruin and terror which she ignores. Like her mentor Madeleine Allbright, even the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children in Iraq by Clinton-led bombing are “worth the price”». [6].

In other articles we find not only the analysis but even a mention of such facts that indicates a certain tendentiousness, excluding scientific and any objectivity. Relying on strong facts allowed McMurtry to make an accurate universal conclusion: «He … promises hundreds of billions more to the military – but he still opposes foreign wars. … But this is most major issue of the election has been completely ignored by the media and opposing politicians alike. It is the historic core of his bid for the presidency.» [6] (Underscores are our anywhere – authors). A similar conclusion was reached in one of our predictive articles before Trump victory. [7]

Another important conclusion McMurtry is about Trump’s revolution of thinking: «Trump is unique in calling out the major mass media as continuous purveyors of lies and propaganda – Trump is a first. Never before has anyone been able to denounce the mass media framing, half-truths and fabrications …He has been slandered and demonized more than Russia’s Putin,…Yet passionate voter support of Trump has still grown in the face of all this denunciation by the political establishment. An underlying revolution in thinking has occurred.» [6].

As professor McMurtry demonstrated, only knowledge of key facts eliminates the errors, in which media and journalism are mired. The knowledge provides the right conclusions, estimates and projections that make sense instead of subjectivity, psychology and following arbitrary constructible media clichés.

Another attempt of theoretical analysis was made by Howard Richards, who defines himself: «“realist.” I cannot make up my mind whether to call it a “realist social theory” or a “realist philosophy” or a “realist viewpoint.” I will call it a theory/philosophy/viewpoint (TPV)…. Realists focus more on the social structures that pre-exist people. Without pre-existing structures people, could not be who they are, think what they think, or do what they do…. From a scientific point of view, we have a better grasp of reality when we study the underlying structures (also called generative mechanisms) that tend to produce the phenomena observed. …. Step One is to craft a definition of “structure” or rather “social structure.” … We must redefine the problem. The problem is not how to attract investment. The problem is how to transform social structure so that our lives no longer physically depend on attracting investment.»[8]. However, these remarkable theoretical hypotheses have not found the application of the author and are not turned into a deep analysis of the social structure, which ultimately secured victory of Trump. We will touch on this structure in our article, in the context of Trump’s peace program generated by the fundamental social structure and designed for it. Only ignoring the social structures or ignorance in them can answer the sacramental question: why «commentators and experts of every kind have desperately attempted to understand [and cannot understand –L.S.] how their analysis proved to be so fundamentally inadequate to the reality of the situation» [9].

At the same time, some authors explicitly recognized: «I do not think there was any objective basis for predicting a Trump victory. Clinton had all criteria in her favor: president’s wife with influence, secretary of state, senator etc. Trump: not even office. But Clinton’s criteria were elitist and status quo, Trump’s smacked of populism and basic change.» [10]. Although this did not prevent them to make important private conclusion: «any demonstrator who voted for Clinton voted for war; preferring a possible nuclear war with Russia to controversial Trump.» [11]. But it was not allowed to enter any demonstrators or their researchers outside of subjective psychology and rise to the level of scientific understanding of the deep social structure, which alone opens the way to truth.

The methodology of scientific analysis

The USA peace/militarism problem has become a major, if not the key unofficial subject of the presidential election campaign in 2016. This is natural, because the quality of geopolitics of any country, the quality of its relations with the planetary world, with all its states, ultimately determines the quality of country’s internal position as a whole determines the part. This is particularly important at the global, closely interconnected world, where the wealth and prosperity of each country depends on the quality of the integrity of this world. The national interests of each country are limited and defined by the global wholeness defining the main parameters of its foreign policy within hard current trends of its deep spheral social (macro)structure. It is expressed the social genome (SOCIONOME) and its nucleus – SPHERONS, four harmonious spheral classes of the population employed in four spheres of social production at all its levels, from local, national to regional and global. Its discovery and statistical empirical substantiation in the most expanded form is presented in two chapters of Global Peace Science:[12, Chapter 1 and 2]. Its graphic illustration is drawing “Spherons’ Harmony“, which is included in the book synopsis [13] and below together with the shortest on three pages sociological proof of SPHERONS.

The methodology of deep social structure, which is harmonious and peaceful by nature, a hypothesis which was articulated still Immanuel Kant more than two centuries ago, has become in Global Peace Science the common denominator to explain a variety in history of civilizations the amazing facts of lasting peace: 43 peace years of militant Roman people at Numa Pompilius reign; ten years of peaceful reign of Ashoka Great in India; 300 years of peaceful life American Indian tribes before the arrival of whites; many examples of peaceful life of African tribes: peacefulness of the Russian civilization, etc. These historical facts cannot be explained by any subjectivism and psychologism, but they are well explained by a deep social structure, universal and common to all historical cultures and civilizations. Deep structure is available brilliant intuition of individual nations / rulers and institutionalization in adequate social mechanisms. These and other similar examples are analyzed in [12, Chapter 3].

Since so far there is no scientific understanding of the deep social structure because of the backwardness of the whole cluster of social sciences, so far the main tool of its knowledge remains the intuition. But it is able not only directly enter into the truth of deep structure. It is subject to endless emotional fluctuations and errors that define its instability. Therefore, the definition of geopolitics of any country depends on the quality of intuition of the political leaders who can guess correctly and can fundamentally wrong in determining the trends of deep social macrostructure. Here there are rooted the epistemological reasons of cognition errors, understanding, assessments and predictions of mass social trends. Donald Trump showed in the election campaign dignity of genius intuition in identifying many foreign policy trends of the global macrostructure and the United States but it was not without the forced or arbitrary errors. To analysis of the merits and limitations of Trump’s intuition in its foreign policy program is dedicated our article.

Trump’s program of peacefulness and peacemaking

Donald Trump has formulated the basic tenets of his foreign policy agenda on April 27, 2016 in a speech devoted to the geopolitics of his administration if he is elected president. [2]. It is very strange that until now, this program does not become the subject of a thorough scientific study and journalist investigation. In this speech, Trump has identified the general contours and pillars of his peaceful foreign policy, which, on the one hand, together with his domestic agenda, ensured him victory in the elections, and on the other hand, have been the subject of fierce militarist criticism and political insinuations by the war party of Obama/Clinton democrats that was undermined its position on the elections and which lose in the end. We will present the Trump’s peaceful program in the excerpts row from his speech, which was structured in five sections with comments, comparisons, evaluations and conclusions.

3.1. Complete rejection from aggressive geopolitics of Obama-Clinton

“(We will) replace randomness with purpose, ideology with strategy, and chaos with peace. The strategic foreign policy vision of Obama-Clinton – it has been a complete and total disaster. No vision, no purpose, no direction, no strategy. But the legacy of the Obama-Clinton interventions will be weakness, confusion, and disarray. Our actions in Iraq, Libya and Syria have helped unleash ISIS. Unfortunately, after the Cold War, our foreign policy veered badly off course. We failed to develop a new vision for a new time. In fact, as time went o­n, our foreign policy began to make less and less sense. Logic was replaced with foolishness and arrogance, and this led to o­ne foreign policy disaster after another. We went from mistakes in Iraq to Egypt to Libya, to President Obama’s line in the sand in Syria. Each of these actions have helped to throw the region into chaos, and gave ISIS the space it needs to grow and prosper. It all began with the dangerous idea that we could make Western democracies out of countries that had no experience or interest in becoming a Western Democracy. This will change when I am president.”[2]

Trump defines geopolitics of “war without borders” of last administration as aggressive. He gives it a very negative assessment as “a complete and total disaster” (repeated several times), which is characterized by chaos, ideology and interventions. Such geopolitics is devoid of understanding, goal and strategy, so it led only to negative consequences, first of all to the collapse and disorder in Iraq, Libya and Syria, which have become a breeding ground for ISIS terrorism. Trump says “I will stop the aggressive policy“, because it is harmful and for America, and for the world community. It is policy of Obama Nobel warlord [14], which provided the “globalization of war” [15] and “full spectrum dominance: totalitarian democracy in the new world order“. [16]

Trump’s disclaimer the Obama-Clinton’s belligerent geopolitics is the American people desire to live in peace with all others nations; it is objective trend of deep social structure of America’s population. Trump ingeniously realized in his intuition the deep zeitgeist of peace and expressed it as he can, in his foreign policy program on 27 April. Ultimately, it provided him the victory, neutralizing his erroneous statements about some groups of Muslims, Latinos, and women, which took from him a few tens of millions of votes. Rejection from aggression is the first necessary step towards global peace, undermining militarism and depriving it of meaning. If there is no war and aggression – why militarism? Therefore, the Obama-Clinton Democratic Party of the war, hawks and militarists of NATO panicked in hysteria, fueling anti Trump propaganda. But it was powerless to overcome the peaceful spirit of the American deep social structure. This structure rejected aggression of Clinton, who used for it the dirtiest means: “bribed FBI official, received money from state sponsors of terrorism” [17]. What are the key attributes of a peaceful program of Trump?

3.2. Coherent and rational geopolitics instead of aggression

“This will change when I am president. It is a new foreign policy direction for our country.It is time to shake the rust off of America’s foreign policy. It’s time to invite new voices and new visions into the fold. My foreign policy will always put the interests of the American people, and American security, above all else. That will be the foundation of every decision that I will make. Our foreign policy goals must be based o­n America’s core national security interests, and the following will be my priorities. We’re going to finally have a coherent foreign policy. We need a new,rationalAmerican foreign policy, informed by the best minds and supported by both parties. But it’s also a philosophical struggle,…”[2]

The negative assessment of Obama-Hillary aggressive geopolitics served for Trump as the starting point in the formation of his own peaceful foreign policy. What are its features? The main attributes of the US new foreign policy are coherence (harmony, coordination, balance) and rationality. These attributes must be “informed by the best mindsand supported by both parties” through the natural “philosophical struggle“. Harmony of geopolitics is provided via its rationality and its respective philosophy, theory and science of the best minds, obviously, not only in America but also around the world. Its international and collective character will be the first step of its harmony and peacefulness. It will provide world recognition for a new geopolitics of US and its peaceful global leadership “to make America great again.” Trump’s America should replace its militaristic leadership in peacebuilding one with all economic, political, cultural and social advantages. It is a colossal historic Trump’s plan to restore the greatness of America.

To Trump’s goal the most appropriate is Global Peace Science by 174 coauthors (including three Nobel Peace Laureates, a President of India and 59 Americans) from 34 countries [12]. This new science accumulated ideas of the best minds of humanity, ready to cooperate in the Trump program. On the basis of this science was born an international project to prevent nuclear war, “Russia-USA-PEACE” [18]. Dialogue between the two superpowers on the anti-nuclear, scientific and legal (Global Peace Constitution of the Earth [19]) agenda would be the best practical start of Trump geopolitics. It is also “a chance to avoid World War“. [20] Trump’s peacefulness program opens up the limitless prospects of key shift of humanity from “the arms race into a peace race“, which brilliantly anticipated Martin Luther King Jr. Trump puts the beginning for implementation of this shift than will be certainly supported by Russia and all other peace-loving countries. The US and Russia could be the pioneers of the “peace race” – a historically unprecedented trend of mankind in the 21st century.

Global Peace Science is also the most powerful joint ideological and spiritual tool for “philosophical struggle” against radical Islam contrasting to its endless mindless murder, terrorism and violence global peace from harmony through acceptable science.

3.3. The center of Trump’s peacefulness: peace and cooperation with Russia and China

“We desire to live peacefully and in friendship with Russia and China. We have serious differences with these two nations, and must regard them with open eyes. But we are not bound to be adversaries. We should seekcommon ground based on shared interests. Russia, for instance, has also seen the horror of Islamic terrorism. I believe an easing of tensions and improved relations with Russia – from a position of strength – is possible. Common sense says this cycle of hostility must end. Some say the Russians won’t be reasonable. I intend to find out. We can upgrade NATO’s outdated mission and structure – grown out of the Cold War.”[2]

On the chessboard of world geopolitics key players are the US, Russia and China with their allies. On them depends, first of all global peace. If they will embark on this path, when and other countries will follow on it. Russia and China have long aspirated to it; only an aggressive US policy prevented this. If Trump frees America from it and puts the US on the trail of peace, nothing prevents it to live in peace, goodwill and friendship with Russia and China. Trump understands good, on the one hand, differences of these three countries, and on the other hand, the necessity of their mutual respect as the equals partners “with open eyes“, i.e. with the understanding of objective differences and disagreements to seek them a reasonable peace compromises. Trump is absolutely right in saying that “we are not bound to be adversaries” to mercilessly destroy each other. This is contrary to a harmonious, peaceful and rational nature of human society, which is absolutely impossible without this nature, determined by its deep social structure. Therefore, a truth is: “common sense says this cycle of hostility must end.” The reasonable alternative does not exist here. So, of course, in this accord, the improvement of “relations with Russia … is possible.” But it is not possible “from a position of [military] strength“, which excludes mutual respect, equality, friendship and peace, spreading aggression and hostility. It is clear that the “position of strength” – is one of the vestiges of the Pentagon militarism at Trump, which analysis see below.

To provide the reasonable compromises for a peaceful resolution of disagreements “we should seekcommon ground based on shared interests.” Search for common ground on the basis of shared interests is a brilliant intuition and thought in political imperative of Trump. So he feels and understands well that different interests, so that they are not at hostility and were in harmony, require a common foundation, a single pillar and an objective platform in mind. Only science focused on the objective truth among the forms of social consciousness. Therefore, “common ground” for the “shared interests” can give only science, in this case – social science, capable and designed to bring the objective truth in some approximation. This science is Global Peace Science [12], which we mentioned above.

To this we must add only one suggestion for Mr. Trump as an innovator of peacemaking and brilliant businessman: to create the USA-Russia joint Institute of Global Peace Science, with departments in every country, in order to develop this science as a “common ground” for a peaceful solution of the whole spectrum of discords between both sides, first and foremost nuclear disarmament as the most pressing problem. Joint development of this science would be a spiritual revolution of two civilizations, complementary political revolution of Trump. It could include Yoga as a universal tool of changing individual mind from violence to nonviolence and harmony.

This science will be the soft intellectual force, with a position of nonviolence and harmony of which just might be improved relations between the two nuclear superpowers and also among all nations of the Earth. Development of Global Peace Science provides not only new, scientific vision of building global peace, which, scientific vision Trump is seeking. On the basis of its discoveries, it will create the unique societal and information technologies with millions of new jobs and billions of revenue as a fundamentally new direction of the technological revolution in the 21st century [12, Chapter 8]. These breakthrough technologies with unmatched economic efficiency will become limitless field for business creativity of Trump and his administration.

3.4. Trump: peace and prosperity require experts with new approaches

“Our goal is peace and prosperity, not war and destruction. Unlike other candidates for the presidency, war and aggression will not be my first instinct. That is why I will also look for talented experts with new approaches, and practical ideas. We will do more to inspire positive reforms around the world than military interventions.Containing the spread of radical Islam must be a major foreign policy goal of the United States. Events may require the use of military force. And then there’s ISIS. I have a simple message for them. Their days are numbered.”[2]

Trump understands clearly what he wants instead of aggression, war and destruction of the past US administrations, especially Obama-Clinton, at who aggression was the “first instinct”. He wants peace and prosperity. But he understands that this is a fundamentally new for the America mission, in which there are practically no “talented experts with new approaches, and practical ideas.” We must emphasize that until now did not exist peacebuilding professionals/experts with a full scale of competence in its holistic scientific vision. Instead it, there are many fragmented private experts in very narrow and secondary issues of peacebuilding, unable to unite to solve a common problem of peace and suffering with incurable pacifist subjectivism and emotional psychologism. At all their need, they are powerless before the task of building global peace (it was proved the last century), which requires scientific knowledge of its root cause – deep social structure, reality and scientific knowledge of which are unknown to them until now.

Therefore, the search for “talented experts with new approaches, and practical ideas” – this is for Trump the most difficult and impossible by traditional ways challenge. It can be solved only in the framework of the proposed Institute for Global Peace with parallel education of broad professional peacebuilders/experts with a holistic scientific vision of deep social structure. It is the task of fundamentally new peace education based on science instead of subjectivism, psychologism, pacifism and emotions, which proved own powerlessness before the wars of the past century. [21]. Will Trump’s administration capable to understand and solve this educational problem, to provide the new professional experts its great peacebuilding mission that proclaimed the 45th President of America? Just like education and its experts will be able “more to inspire positive reforms around the world than military interventions.”

It is a colossal, unprecedented historical task. It is feasible for a unique leader who was able to penetrate into the deep social structure and therefore was able to tell people deeply unexpected truth instead of superficial lies and trite media fakes: “Trump’s biggest virtue was that he seemed to be telling the truth on key issues” [22]. America, like other countries, has experts for invasions, but does not have the experts for scientific peacebuilding. It is an indisputable fact. Can Trump overcome it and be able to meet its goals and to make America great? The fact that he understands this challenge: “I will also look for talented experts with new approaches, and practical ideas” – it is a half of its solution. The other half is the practical steps in this direction.

3.5. Trump: America will be peacemaker and great again

“The nation-state remains the true foundation for happiness andharmony. You cannot have a foreign policy without diplomacy. A superpower understands that caution and restraint are signs of strength.My goal is to establish a foreign policy that will endure for several generations. America will continually play the role of peacemaker. And we must make America great again. If we do that, perhaps this century can be the most peaceful and prosperous the world has ever known.”[2]

One can argue that “the nation-state remains the true foundation for happiness andharmony.” It may be the similar if it is organized and operate for the benefit of all people. But if that state is state of democrats Obama-Hillary that Trump knows better than others, it is the state not the people and its privileged ruling elite (1%) as Paul Roberts writes [23]. This state is involved in the genocide of the different people and demonstrates the NATO fascist tendency of continuous wars as it writes Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Laureate: “US and UK committed genocide against the Iraqi people when, between 1990 and 2012, they killed 3.3 million people — including 750,000 children. … NATO should be abolished.” [24] This state is guilty with its “war crimes against humanity” [25] and the direct link with “nuclear war” by Joachim Hagopian [26]. This state uses terrorism as an “ultimate weapon of the global elite” by Robert Burrowes [27]. This state, represented by its senior officials Obama and Hillary are the type empire craving U.S. politicians that willingly violates the US Constitution as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, similar to the pattern followed by George W. Bush, in the opinion of Theodore McIntire [28]. This state, which considers itself the “only democracy” but building itself around militarism, destroys it, as Henry Giroux writes: “You can’t have a democracy that organizes itself around war.” [29]. This state “could be in a nuclear war with Russia thanks to Hillary’s foreign policies” via six months after her victory as it writes the presidential candidate from the Green Jill Stein [30]. The list of similar attributes of the nation state, which exclude “happiness and harmony” and only generate unhappiness and disharmony can be continued. About a hundred of similar evidences were collected here [12, Chapters 9 and 13].

In this context, the Trump’s statement on “harmony” should be perceived as an ideal for the future of American state, to which he intends to aspire. He found here a brilliant and unprecedented quality: he is the first American politician and president who had the courage to use the most powerful peace-loving concept and value – HARMONY (with its almost synonym – coherence) in determining US foreign policy. Its program, together with its center – “coherence” (harmony), together with the statement of America as a “constant peacemaker” to make the 21st century “the most peaceful and prosperous” and at the same time to make America “once again great” – all this allows to qualify the Trump’s foreign policy program as “PEACEMAKING REVOLUTION of the USA AGGRESSIVE GEOPOLITICS.” It provided Trump’s brilliant victory under extremely adverse conditions, reinforced by his disharmonious errors against women and minorities.

But the main thing is that harmony is the ideal of all social associations, including states and their various unions. Note, President Putin has many times used this important concept in his speeches [12, Chapter 10]. The parallels between Putin and Trump see here [12a]. Harmony is an integral key condition of stability, peace, justice and prosperity for all, without exception, social unions. This was proved by a long history of union of the peoples making the Chinese and Indian civilization, which developed steadily on the basis of harmony for many thousands of years. On the other hand, Western civilization, EU, America and other are cracking at the seams from the deficit and disregarding for social harmony, from ignorance into it and lack of knowledge about it and stemming from it inability to use and manage with harmony. Therefore, Trump’s “harmony” is his ideal, and the target for the future, which begins today.

Achieving peace from harmony and the transformation of America into a permanent global peacemaker that Trump proclaims, it is impossible not only without Global Peace Science but without the Peace Department in the US government. This idea a long time, more than two centuries, is proclaimed in the United States but because of its militarism has been postponed until now. The US history of this idea, developing its organization and its sad fate were briefly discussed in our book [12, Chapter 10]. Another necessary for harmony, peace and prosperity idea of American origin is the idea of transition every citizen into the owner, which for a long time, since President Reagan, persistently develops by Dr. Norman Kurland with its Center for Economic and Social Justice [12, Chapter 7]. These, and other “practical ideas“, interesting for Trump and integrated by the holistic value of harmony in Global Peace Science, can and should be developed in the proposed above Global Peace Institute of the USA and Russia.

Obama-Clinton’s militarist foreign policy in comparison with Trump

Against the backdrop of a Trump peaceful foreign policy program is especially prominently emerges militarism of geopolitics Obama-Hillary, which cannot hide every their honest proponents. For example, John Avery of Denmark, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, a fierce opponent of Trump honest writing about militarism Hillary, who “known involvement in US wars, and her support for the present provocation of Russia, which might easily escalate into a catastrophic thermonuclear war…. close ties with Wall Street (1% – L.S.) and the Israel Lobby, and her failure to propose cuts in the obscenely bloated Pentagon budget“. However, Avery admits Trump unfoundedly “even worse” only on the basis of its low-key attitude to the Paris climate agreement [31], about which he, of course, still cannot take a final decision and it can be very different from his election rhetoric.

Farther Avery in this ‘worse‘ Noam Chomsky goes, who, like the mainstream media ignores the Trump foreign policy program, without even mentioning it as would it does not exist. This is contrary to fact and reality of its existence, as well as to scientific ethics that excludes manipulation, concealment and denial of facts. Chomsky builds his anti-Trump argumentation not only based on his attributed denial of the Paris Agreement but also on the basis of his “change“, which he believes will be “worse” Hilary’s change. He says: «Exit polls reveal that the passionate support for Trump was inspired primarily by the belief that he represented change, while Clinton was perceived as the candidate who would perpetuate their distress. The “change” that Trump is likely to bring will be harmful or worse.» [32].

The American people did not believe but have heard, read and knew the changes that bears Trump, and did not knew any of the changes that carries Hillary, especially in foreign policy, in which it perpetuated a “war without borders.” In this context, it is very strange that Trump’s peace is “worse” than Clinton’s wars and aggressions at peacemaker Chomsky, who requires a “careful look” at Trump’s suggestions. But Chomsky contradicts oneself. He did not give any “careful look” at the program of Trump’s foreign policy. He simply ignores and abuses it. How it’s called? From the point of complete apriority negation of Trump, Chomsky calls the “a tale” his intention to reduce harmful tension “on the Russian border,” because it’s not Mexican border. This “tale” of Chomsky is with a racist tinge.

For the same reason and in view of the alleged “unpredictability” Trump (“Trump is too unpredictable”), Chomsky leaves open the question of changing the administration’s foreign policy Trump, its “more or less militarism” compared with the Obama administration (“Trump administration is likely to be more or less than militaristic what we have seen in the Obama administration”), as if geopolitical Trump’s program does not exist. [32] Trump unpredictability in foreign policy as well as its militarism – it is 100% false, which proves its geopolitical program analyzed above. In it, we recall once again, he denies the aggressive policy of the Obama-Clinton as “a complete and total disaster“, declaring that “America will be a constant peacemaker.” Where is unpredictable here? It is the fruit of the disinform imagination as 100% false of mainstream (militaristic) media, in which, according to the ingenious remark Michel Chossudovsky, “war becomes peace,” and “lie turns into truth” [14]. The best way to keep the truth of Trump in oneself – is to ignore the mainstream media and militaristic journalists, reading only the original texts and peacebuilding journalists separating them from counterfeit. Trump, unlike Obama-Hillary is quite predictable in foreign policy, which he systematically formulated in April 2016.

Unlike Trump, we do not find at Hillary any peace declaration, any change in the geopolitics of the aggressive “war without borders.” We did not find any article on this topic. Place of peacefulness is supplanted by her Russophobia hysteria, lies and militaristic propaganda [23-29]. Therefore it is not Trump and Hillary has become an acute problem of the USA. According to Michael Moore: “Our biggest problem here isn’t Trump – it’s Hillary. She is hugely unpopular — nearly 70% of all voters think she is untrustworthy and dishonest. She represents the old way of politics, not really believing in anything other than what can get you elected. … She’s a hawk… Her vote for the Iraq War made me promise her that I would never vote for her again” [33] Fundamental analysis of the USA militaristic foreign policy for the past decades belongs to the famous American historian and analyst William Blum [33a; 33b].Therefore it is not Hillary with her aggression and Trump with his peacefulness found the support of the American people.

Trump’s peacemaking revolution of foreign policy is not available, in principle, to Obama and Hillary as the militarists. It never dreamed of them and in their heads it did not come either through their minds or through intuition. There is nothing to compare if we have the Trump’s real program of peace. The danger of fascism, of which so many speak some great peacemakers – Chomsky, Avery, and the like, preferring militarism Hillary to peacefulness Trump came from militarism of democrats of Obama-Clinton (that is well proven in many works [6; 15; 16; 17; etc. .]) but not from the peacefulness Trump. It also proves the scientific analysis of his US foreign policy program, which they stubbornly ignore contrary to the requirements of elementary scientific ethics. Therefore, the insinuation of “Trump’s fascism” must be rejected as unfounded and unworthy of attention.

Pentagon rudiments of Trump’s foreign policy program

We are well aware that in politics, as in any mass social process cannot be simultaneous turns by 180%. All the turns, even the most radical, proceed slowly and require a long period of time. Therefore, Trump’s peaceful foreign policy program does not promise to turn 180% from aggressive geopolitics Obama-Hillary, despite claim of its denial as “a complete and total disaster“. [2] Augean stables of the US/NATO militarism cannot be cleaned up suddenly. This explains the preservation in Trump’s program of peacebuilding Pentagon’s restrictions and militaristic rudiments that we systematized in the following excerpts block from this program.

“President Obama has weakened our military by weakening our economy. … we need to rebuild our military and our economy …

Our allies must contribute toward the financial, political and human costs of our tremendous security burden. In NATO, for instance, o­nly 4 of 28 other member countries, besides America, are spending the minimum required 2% of GDP o­n defense. We have spent trillions of dollars over time – o­n planes, missiles, ships, equipment – building up our military to provide a strong defense for Europe and Asia. The countries we are defending must pay for the cost of this defense – and, if not, the U.S. must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves. The whole world will be safer if our allies do their part to support our common defense and security. A Trump Administration will lead a free world that is properly armed and funded.

Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and, under a Trump Administration, will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. The Iran deal, like so many of our worst agreements, is the result of not being willing to leave the table. President Obama gutted our missile defense program, then abandoned our missile defense plans with Poland and the Czech Republic. Israel, our great friend and the o­ne true Democracy in the Middle East, has been snubbed and criticized by an Administration that lacks moral clarity. President Obama has not been a friend to Israel. He has treated Iran with tender love and care and made it a great power in the Middle East – all at the expense of Israel, our other allies in the region and, critically, the United States.

President Obama watches helplessly as North Korea increases its aggression and expands even further with its nuclear reach. Our president has allowed China to continue its economic assault o­n American jobs and wealth, refusing to enforce trade rules – or apply the leverage o­n China necessary to rein in North Korea. He has even allowed China to steal government secrets with cyber attacks and engage in industrial espionage against the United States and its companies. If President Obama’s goal had been to weaken America, he could not have done a better job.

The Russians and Chinese have rapidly expanded their military capability, but look what’s happened to us! Our nuclear weapons arsenal – our ultimate deterrent – has been allowed to atrophy and is desperately in need of modernization and renewal. Our active duty armed forces have shrunk from 2 million in 1991 to about 1.3 million today. The Navy has shrunk from over 500 ships to 272 ships during that time. The Air Force is about 1/3 smaller than 1991. Pilots are flying B-52s in combat missions today which are older than most people in this room. And what are we doing about this? President Obama has proposed a 2017 defense budget that, in real dollars, cuts nearly 25% from what we were spending in 2011. Our military is depleted, and we’re asking our generals and military leaders to worry about global warming. We will spend what we need to rebuild our military. It is the cheapest investment we can make. We will develop, build and purchase the best equipment known to mankind. Our military dominance must be unquestioned.

I will not hesitate to deploy military force when there is no alternative. But if America fights, it must fight to win. I will never send our finest into battle unless necessary – and will only do so if we have a plan for victory. Our goal is peace and prosperity, not war and destruction. Our power will be used if others do not play by the rules.”

Trump clearly and systematically formulated here the militaristic limits of its peaceful foreign policy. They are clearly serving as the rudiments of the USA most powerful and influential Department – the Pentagon. He cannot ignore its interests, what makes it clear that part of his foreign policy, which is reflected in the excerpts above. Pentagon has to expand all kinds of troops that Trump is unambiguously formulated here. Trump gently and diplomatically delivers Pentagon rudiments, not to tease the civil society geese, under the sauce of “weaknesses in our foreign policy“, justifying their by growing military strength of China and Russia, which, in turn, was provoked an American growing military threat about that he prefers to remain silent. Trumpdoes not recollect that the US has the world’s largest military budget, the most powerful armed forces, the most powerful military-industrial complex, the largest number of military bases in the world – more than 800 in all continents, etc. We can understand his as an American politician. Therefore, we will not comment on the Pentagon vestiges of his peacefulness. For all the contradictory to peacefulness, they are natural and inevitable at this stage of his presidency, which later, in 2-3 years will clearly show the dynamics of its foreign policy towards global peace or towards the Pentagon militarism.

When we are comparing the two parts of the Trump foreign policy: peace and war, we can see the firmness and priority of the peacebuilding direction in its geopolitics. Nothing in his program does not call into question or doubt a peace priority. This is the historical value and uniqueness of its program of foreign policy, which should support all peace-loving countries and peoples of the world because it is in the interest of humanity survival and sustainable development in peace and prosperity from harmony.

Unbiased observers, as well as the American people, it is well understood. For example, the Polish Professor W. Julian Korab-Karpowicz wrote long before the elections, “Donald Trump stands for triumph of America’s greatness and peace. He wants a strong America that serves World Peace, and not spreading continuous wars. He has condemned the “military adventures” USA in other countries that… Also, he wants to improve America’s corrupted political system. Vote for Trump, vote for peace!” He suggested even to award Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for his love of peace. [35] The Internet now walks a similar idea: Peace Nobel Prize should be taken away from Obama and handed over to Trump – it would be the height of justice! American researcher Joachim Hagopian says: “many Americans who’ve been supporting President-elect Trump see him as the populist leader who will save America from ruin“. [36]

On the other hand, the protests that were unfolded in the United States, were clearly artificial, provided by “professional demonstrators” who receive salaries from the democratic and militaristic rich and mainstream media. Paul Roberts has described these demonstrators as “tools of the oligarchy” [37], which consider the normal Americans who gave their voices to Trump “as deplorables“. [38]

There is another embarrassing moment in the presidential election. It was expressed by Roberto Savio dissatisfied with Trump victory: “In any country of the world, Hillary Clinton would have won the elections after obtaining the greater number of votes. The United States, however, does not have a democratic Constitution. And while the Americans consider themselves the “only democracy in the world” (George W. Bush, speech to the U.S. Congress at his inauguration), it should be noted that the US Constitution is a vestige of the past.” [39].

We cannot go into the analysis of the United States ‘non-democratic’ Constitution. It is a different matter than our but in accordance with it were elected all 45 US presidents, including Trump. The US electoral system is tuned to elect the president not the voters but the 50 states (by the electors from 50 states) for what all the presidential candidates are fighting. In this respect, they are on an equal footing and have no complaints. Hillary congratulated Trump’s election; she has recognized this, even though she knew that won a slim majority of the votes but the states support was in the minority. Therefore, Trump’s win is valid and just in this system, adopted by the American people throughout its history and there is no a reason to do from it the exclusive advantage of Trump. This is absurd.

Trump’s peacebuilding geopolitics and Global Peace Science

So we summarize our scientific analysis of geopolitics Trump and define its links with Global Peace Science.

The first thing we should note is the incompleteness of our analysis, behind which were many important issues of Trump’s policy, especially its internal policy that requires special analysis.

Second, Trump geopolitics program is a brilliant and unprecedented peaceful vision of modernity. It is verified almost every word to articulate a new, peacebuilding order and contour of the US geopolitics. Nothing like the world did not knew in the past centuries and especially during the almost continuous militarist US foreign policy. Therefore, peace program of Trump, with full reason – this is peacemaking Copernican revolution of the US geopolitics for all history. This program meets the highest political, moral and peacemaking ideals of the past proclaimed by the American thinkers and politicians, since America’s founding fathers, since William Penn and ending pacifist geniuses of Martin Luther King and Albert Einstein. Therefore, the key slogan Trump is: “Make America Great Again” in peace not in a war! Each phrase of the program develops it and expresses a whole layer of peacefulness that requires fundamental research.

Third. The Trump peacefulness program has great international significance and become a positive example to elect the peaceful leaders in other countries, such as France and Germany. It opens before the USA the prospect of global leadership in peacebuilding if Trump will not only perform but also actively to develop this program, ensuring its expansion beyond his presidency. He formulated this intention but whether he will be able to keep the country on the path of peace and not allow it to return to the aggressive way of Obama-Clinton depends on many circumstances he should anticipate. Some of these are discussed below.

Fourth. Much depends on the hardness of the Trump pre-election promises and intentions. His first steps are convinced that he is hard in them and this gives hope for its coherent (harmonious) peaceful geopolitics. Trump is the first American leader that matches to the scale of the great historic King’s goal: “to shift the arms race into a peace race.”

Fifth. The most acute problem of modern peace and international security is the extreme confrontation between the two nuclear superpowers – Russia and the United States. The risk of nuclear war between them was brought up by the Obama-Clinton administration to the limit point via placing the US/NATO nuclear infrastructure on the Russia western border. This risk is exacerbated by two US militaristic attributes:

Traditional, since Hiroshima/Nagasaki 1945, US policy, which allows the first use of nuclear weapons. “Throughout the nuclear age, presidents have allowed their senior commanders to plan for the first use of nuclear weapons…” This underscores the Pentagon’s former military experts James E. Cartwright and Bruce G. Blairaug [40]. Is Trump continue this dangerous tradition or put an end to it?

Decision of the Obama administration to spend an additional $ 1 trillion for modernization of nuclear weapons in the next decade. Can Trump keep this decision or will cancel it?

Without solving these three primary military and political issues, the Trump peace geopolitics will not budge and did not go beyond the Obama-Clinton aggressive foreign policy. This requires a search for “common ground and common sense” of the two nuclear powers, which Trump formulated in his program and that requires the convergence of Putin and Trump peaceful positions.

Sixth. The most important and sensitive issue is definition of “common ground and common sense” of peace for the two nuclear powers, a common platform for convergence of their peaceful leaders, which would be unshakable in the long perspective and excluded a return to militarism and aggression. The necessary revolution of relations between the two powers, their shift from the plane of war and the nuclear standoff to the plane of peace and King’s peace race requires a mutually acceptable Copernican revolution of consciousness of their leadership. Trump started this revolution in his program of peaceful foreign policy. Similar revolution of consciousness is also Global Peace Science by 174 coauthors (including three Nobel Peace Laureates and the president of India Abdul Kalam) from 34 countries, which was created during 11 years by the Global Harmony Association – international peacemaking organization. [12]

Only this science provides a common platform for the joint US and Russian global peacebuilding in entirety of its four societal spheres and the corresponding harmonious classes of the population employed in them (SPHERONS). This is discovery of a new social reality and the unknown actors of global peace. They are unknown to traditional social science and traditional pacifist peacemaking. Their rationale in all cognitive planes is deployed on more than 600 pages of this book [12]. In the three-page, very briefly, this justification is presented below and here [41]. Without knowledge of this reality and these actors peacemaking thinking remains on the surface of many details does not penetrating into their deep social structure that defines peace from harmony of four spheres of production and employed in them classes of the population. This science is able to use and integrate any private constructive peacemaking idea, which is not contrary to reality as evidenced by coauthorship in it the 174 participants with more than 300 articles.

On the basis of this science was developed the cooperation project “Russia-USA-PEACE” and draft of agenda for the Global Peace Summit [18]. And the project and the Summit are a complement and development for the Trump peacemaking program. Global Peace Science is the best “common sense and common ground” for peacebuilding geopolitics of any country and all together.

Conclusion

The Trump peacemaking geopolitics and Global Peace Science are two mutually complementary Copernican revolutions: political and socio-scientific. They are impossible without each other and need each other. Their historical advantages, coupled together in the convergence of peacebuilding geopolitics of the USA and Russia, constitute a joint Copernican revolution of these peoples in the 21st century for the sake of survival, sustainable development and peace from harmony of humanity as a whole, that, as Trump said, “this century can be the most peaceful and prosperous the world has ever known.”[2]. If Trump’s administration will ignore the cooperation in the development of this science, it devalues and disavows all the Trump’s high promises about search of “new minds, ideas and approaches” for foreign policy, about its “rationality” and its cardinal “change” to finding “common ground“, “the most peaceful century” and make America “constant peacemaker.” This will mean the preservation of the traditional US policy of aggression, before which Trump was powerless but replaced only rhetoric. This will be the collapse of his peace program. We will be hope that Trump is strong and consistent leader who will be faithful to his original peaceful purposes. What is true Trump it will be seen in 1-2 years. Whatever happens with Trump, his program of foreign policy will always remain the ideal of peacefulness for the United States and will keep forever in the world history.

Pragmatics

Mr. Trump is a pragmatist. He promised to find a “new vision, new minds, ideas and approaches” for peace. We offer them in this article, which accumulates our work for 11 years. Could Mr. Trump take practically our offers of ideas, minds and approaches from this article and fulfill his promise?

We invite Mr. Trump together with Mr. Putin to republish with our participation Global Peace Science in two languages with your articles defining your scientific vision of global peace and its geopolitics in the 21st century, which you can today offer to your nations and the entire world for the long term. If the coauthors of this science are the Nobel Prize Laureates and the great Indian President-peacemaker Abdul Kalam, then nothing prevents the Presidents-peacemakers of the two nuclear superpowers also become its coauthors. This will give the peoples of the scientific vision of peace, will immortalize your names as the founders of this science together with the names of Kant, King, Einstein and open at its platform nuclear disarmament, immortal for humanity.

We will send this article in the administration of the US and Russia presidents, the response of which will be a test of the truth of your peace programs, aspirations and actions.

2 Responses to “Trump: Peacemaking Revolution of the US Aggressive Geopolitics”

While I personally can’t assess president-elect Donald Trump’s potential contribution to world peace, I suggest that those interested in his geo-political impact should recognise that there seems to be little realism in his proposals to deal with the economic difficulties that led many US ‘outsiders’ to rally to his cause.
